A large proportion of the projects we run under this programme focus on the creation of teaching materials and enhancing the educational content of school syllabi through hands on training and exercises. We have also run projects seeking to build capacities of community based organisations, NGOs and development agencies in the use of appropriate technologies and techniques such as ornamental fish rearing, food processing and applications of GIS for vulnerability mapping and disaster preparedness. The numerous events which are associated with this programme are summarised and can be accessed on the Events menu. This programme page describes the projects under this programme we are presently involved in or have completed in the past.
